Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

Oh don't jinx us!

Khalaq: Someone needs to poke DarkMoment and tell him to read his PM.
Yes, I read it.
Sorry that I reply your message so late.
Come on, Keanerunner is such a lame pun, when MAG Keane is so obvious!

xenxander: Sniper Elite sold so slowly, then two games later, it's a freebie....

and I couldn't even snag it as a freebie. I mean common guys you had all that time to get it but only when it's free do you get... wait... right.

The auto-bots, scripted clickers.... there needs to be safeguards against that somehow....

now some asshat has a game he doesn't even want.

I kinda don't want it either, but that's not the point here ^_^;;
Think of it as playing whack-a-mole with 50 thousand other hammers coming down at the same time for a few of those moles....

Besides bots and scripts I'm sure there are many people just mashing the mouse buttons every time when on game changes to another without taking time to notice if it is free and what exactly is it. So, yes, many people might end up with a free game they didn't actually want or will ever play, but hey - you didn't want it too, but tried to get it for free, right :) ?

Schemilix: I nearly played Dark Heresy, but then... we didn't. So that didn't happen. Because it didn't.
It would've been cool though. I played WFRPG.

Like that abortive Call of Cthulhu session that never was.

Faenwulf: Palyed CoC for quite a while. About two years I think. Really great game.

Dark Heresy is okay. The background is good, but the rules really suck balls. Overly complicated and the characters attributes are too low to do anything right without a huge chance (50-60% at the beginning) to utterly fail. Even for things he's supposed to be good at.
Yeah WFRPG suffers from that problem. Still had a brilliant time though. I mean, we had a naked dwarf charge into a bunch of Nurgle-infected whore-cultists and it made perfect sense in context. The problem was I tended to know what the DM was going to do, though he was a good DM. Just slightly TOO good foreshadowing, which at least made me feel cleverish I suppose. I was an Amethsyt mage dude. He was a smuggler but I got max Human willpower so... we put him on the mage path pretty swiftly. Now he's haunted by some cheerful ghost.

I've heard good things about Call of Cthulhu, yeah. I'd probably play an established character of mine as a cultist though so I might ruin it for everyone.
Well, this sucks. I've been waiting for this so I can go to a show, but now that it's down to the last few copies, I have to poop.
MAGBLOCKER IS DEAD! :-)

Long live NWN2!!!

stg83: Pardon me if this bad pun has been made before, but why weren't people keen on buying Jack Keane?
Mediocre adventure games, it's new, and it's $12. Given how slowly it moved, it's like the anti-System Shock 2 of the sale.

mrking58: Damn I hate sequels
That is not the sequel, the sequel of Rise of the Mag Keane Runner: Master of the Broken Sale is, Hotline Miami Alice: Rise of the Mag Keane Runner: Master of the Broken Sale. A true reincarnation of classic gaming.
